  1. Blue marker pen. Got to be blue. Makes me feel all engineery.
  2. Beef stew on an army cadet camp. Large piece of aorta.
  3. Is it just an American movie thing where the tearaway gets given the choice of prison or the army or does that actually happen anywhere?
  4. Bar length is largely a climbing/grounding thing. Climbing you're staying clean so sharpening isn't in issue as much and you can't as easily get round the far side of some things so a big bar to reach through is what you want. Grounding basically the opposite. Steep ground that Rich just mentioned is similar to climbing.
  5. Save a few quid by wearing it on the plane.
  6. Are they legal without the the C for commercial on the sidewall? I don't care, just interested.
  7. Is there a year or serial number you need to get a later one than?
  8. That's a good point and an interesting idea.
  9. Oui, monsieur. Deux milles Euros.
  10. Aye. Sitting out to shoot thieves is probably illegal.
  11. Firstly, consider my reply as mine and the other bloke's as his please. Right, read what you said. We weren't talking about good reason to acquire guns on licences. We were talking about the normal law of self-defence. You can do whatever with whatever if it satisfies the normal requirements (reasonableness, proportionality, imminence etc). You're basically right about self-defence not being good reason to acquire firearms, for normal sportsmen. Example: You're a small woman out pigeon shooting with your wheelchair-bound teenage daughter. Five big men with knives burst through the hedge, tell you they're going to rape you both and kill you both and then they all lunge at you. You can shoot them. You go home and apply for a licence for a pistol for self defence. You probably won't get it.

    First day taking him to work. Rather easy. We had the run of a basically empty farmyard. Not expecting climbing to be as straightforward.
  13. The silly title and stubs aside (and in fairness at least some of them are left for a good reason), I found this quite relaxing. Nothing mega mega. Just a guy taking his time on a nice day. Not thoroughbred educational material, just pleasant watching.

    Jokes???

    It's on a television advert too. Guinness? Specsavers?
  15. My Hobbs has never moved when cranked hard (has a couple of times when not). It's got far better pointy bits on the frame. Would ideally like to pin the GRCS to the stem with some gurt lag screws too but there's nowhere very obvious to do that. I'll see how I get on with it with a mind to one day building a better one.
  16. Well I don't mind a 170 or 180. 162 feels considerably cheaper. Didn't run the saw. Just on the shelf in a shop. Nose looks like a nose.

    Him. Sailor. End of November. Two and a bit. Smashing chap. Likes hares.
  18. Quality.
  19. Find the post please because that's superb.

    @eggsarascal Do keep up.
  21. I like to think they started by just easing the bumper against the doors and worked up to ramming.
